Don't Discount Poetry Poem by Denis Martindale

Don't discount poetry.
It's the stuff of legends,
It's the music yet to be played,
It's the sights yet to be seen or imagined…
It's the gift of imagination
Created as extravaganzas of pure power
And ecstacies yet to be…
Or it's just another one of those gentle little poems,
Merely common fare and no more…
Yet tomorrow such poets may write masterpieces,
Having the elegance of eloquence…
So don't discount the poets either…
Just give them more time to rhyme…
Because they're writing for you…


Denis Martindale March 2020.
